Tips For Hiring a DJ |
| |
|
1. Prompt return of your phone
calls or emails |
|
You should expect to get a call back or
email back within 24 hours. The only
exception may be weekends when most DJs are
performing. |
|
2. Willingness to meet with you and
present his/her service |
|
Will the DJ try to meet with you soon, or is
he/she just trying to book the date sight
unseen? Is their material neat and
professional looking, and is their
presentation organized and informative? |
|
3. Is the price too good to be true?
|
|
It seems that the DJ is often the last
service chosen, after much of the budget is
expended on a venue, food and clothing. This
often leads brides and party planners to
shop for the cheapest price possible because
of lack of resources. This often backfires
when holding out for the lowest price.
However, if you have adhered to guiding
principals noted here, you will know to
avoid services that have a rock bottom price
because they will not be able to display the
level of quality and attention to detail
that EVERY client deserves! |
|
4. Do you LIKE the person that shows up?
|
|
There is nothing worse than having to do
business with someone you do not like.
Choosing the person who "feels" right is the
most important factor in picking the right
entertainer for your party or reception. the
DJ you choose should be very open about what
he/she can do for you and should volunteer
information and show you that knowledge
base. |
|
5. Does the DJ have a music list that shows
you what sort of music he or she has
available?
|
|
In some fashion, you the client, need to be
assured that the DJ you hire not only has a
sizable collection, but has a variety of
music, especially for wedding receptions,
where many different styles of music and
guests will be in the same room together. |
|
6. Does the DJ use professional grade
equipment?
|
|
If the DJ does not have pictures of his or
her gear, you should ask to set up a time to
see the equipment or see pictures of the
DJ's set up. The DJ should be able to tell
you what he/she uses and characterize the
equipment as professional grade. |
|
7. Will the DJ offer to meet with you AFTER
signing the contract to plan your event?
|
|
A professional DJ is ALWAYS willing to
discuss your event at any time before the
event starts, and should display the
flexibility to accommodate changes and help
you solve problems. Meeting or phone
conferencing your DJ to plan your event is
of paramount importance to a successful
event such as a wedding reception. |
|
8. Will the person that you interview be the
person that will perform at your event? |
|
This is THE most common complaint about the
DJ industry today. The person you meet turns
out NOT to be the person that actually does
your show. Often, you are not made aware of
this. Ask the DJ you interview if he/she
will be the actual person performing, or
will someone else perform the event. You
need to know this UP FRONT before you sign a
contract. |
